Poster for the Australian release of Jules Dassin's re-make of Liam O'Flaherty's "The Informer." Dassin, a leftist Jewish filmmaker making his return after 20 years on the Hollywood blacklist, changed the setting from Dublin to Cleveland, tracing a group of black revolutionaries in the wake of the Martin Luther King assassination. Critic Roger Ebert said "Dassin . . . jumps into the center of a social phenomenon that has been carefully avoided by almost everybody except a few documentary filmmakers and, of course, the national magazines. The effect--on the big movie theater screen--is stunning and hair-raising."
